this made me cry. i wish that we could try this with my son. he not so much self harms, but out of frustration he abuses his caregivers (including us). my son is almost 9, and also had adhd, spd, and oppositional defiance disorder. I have fibromyalgia, osteo and rheumatoid arthritis (theres a link betwwen them). Sadly, MN does not allow for even medicinal use in adults (though ill openly admit using and it helping enormously) bless you and your son. we have been on so many meds to try and help him. lamictal made my son so psychotic at 7 he tried to stab me. he has been on abilify from 6 until i ripped him off 2 years later because my son has the obesity gene and gained over 60 lbs in 2 years.the only med that worked even SOMEWHAT is intuiv and my insurance wont cover it and its over 200 a month. I’ll keep you all in my thoughts!
